Me: So, here’s the thing.
Nell: Here we go.
Me: Everyone had a wonderful time at the Dog and Dash activity field.
Nell: Yes.
Me: But you were very difficult about leaving.
Nell: I was tired.
Me: You sat in your special half circle and refused to move.
Nell: I was too weak.
Me: You were perfectly fine walking there.
Nell: I needed time to rest.
Me: No, you wanted a biscuit.
Nell: Nonsense.
Me: In fact you’ve worked out I have biscuits in my pocket and you will only follow me if I offer you one every few steps.
Nell: If you offer, I’m not going to refuse.
Me: You’re perfectly capable of walking a short distance.
Nell: Moving on, today is the third advent so three candles will be lit.
Me: Yes.
Nell: Sunday Songs is all about carols.
Me: I love a good carol.
Nell: Nigel is returning home today as Scarlett is back from London so he won’t be joining us for Sunday roast.
Me: I’m glad he wasn’t sentenced.
Nell: No, but there are three black paws on his licence for Stealing and Growling.
Me: What licence? Does he drive?
Nell: Of course Nigel drives. I’m talking about his Labrador Licence.
Me: I didn’t know he had one.
Nell: Every dog has one according to breed.
Me: What if you’re a mixture?
Nell: You have a colourful mixed breed licence. You must have seen Poppy’s.
Me: I didn’t.
Nell: She kept adding to the list. I’m sure I saw pirate on there.
Me: I miss her so much.
Nell: We all do. Now, we need to organise a King before Sunday Songs starts.
Me: A King?
Nell: Nigel and David are singing ‘We Three Kings’ and they need a third. Do keep up.
Me: Sorry.
